More snow

We are now officially in Spring and yet again more snow, started yesterday and we now have 4-6 inches! honestly will spring weather ever put in an appearance.Eric and I have struggled on with filthy colds and generally feeling quite rotten but hounds are all well and happy.

Went to hospital Friday to see hand
surgeon, well what can I say it didn't go to plan, chap who went in before me
was pacing up and down and looked agitated, we were sitting right next to the
door and could hear him getting very angry, then all hell let loose and he
upturned tables and cabinets, Eric rushed in to help my surgeon and got punched
in the face before they were able to restrain him. Eventually I saw my surgeon
but we were all very shaken up by then, x ray showed wrist fusion is good and we
discussed what could be done to thumb as it has collapsed into palm of hand with
no movement and the other 3 fingers which also don't move but decided I needed a
break from this merry go round of operations and recovery. Decided to see him
again in September and then decide which op to do next and how best to do it so
I'm having the summer off yay! wanted to ask about other hand as I'm a tad
worried the main nerve is again getting squashed again but my head was all over the
place. Came home and 2 managers rung to thank Eric and then the police came to
take statements. Rang us up at 10.30pm and woke us up to say he had been released
with a caution and was very sorry.

Saturday just as I got back from town when my hand
surgeon arrived here with flowers champagne and chocolates as a thank you, he
lives at least 40 miles away. He really is a lovely man, I've made him a funny
card to say thank you for regrouping so quickly and seeing me so we could get home!

Now there's a doctor's appointment that won't soon be forgotten! As long as Eric is okay, he's got a good story to tell for a long time. He can say to Marc, "You think your job is tough, try taking your mom to a doctor's appointment." I think your doctor will get a big kick out of your card. How fun! I'm sorry to hear about your hands, but glad that you will get a break. Summer is a good time to take a break. Also, glad that all the hounds are well.
